3rd Broken Illusion

Whoever messed with the punch at the dance? Good going, idiot. Maybe you thought you were making things "fun", but all you managed to do was ruin an evening that could have passed without incident otherwise.

This town's bad enough. Why would you do something like that? Gah. [ U MAD, TOUMA?

Seriously, he didn't even want to be there, but it messed Misaka up badly, and thus subsequently cut something short that Mikoto was looking forward to. Even if the vomiting saved his ass. That's what has him all pissed off. ]

---

[ Action : 840 Hastings : Open ]
[ Now that he's gotten that bit of frustration out, Touma was back to being restless. He's currently milling about the house, trying to find something to do. The drones are off doing whatever it is that drones do out of the house. He is used to living (mostly) alone, so he's doing stuff just to have something to do.

This includes but is not limited to:
a) Cleaning his room, or organizing all the books in the house.
b) Raking the yard and bagging up the leaves.
c) Washing the car -- and contemplating getting driving lessons. ]

(ooc: Back-dated to Sunday, and action is open to anyone passing by the house, or stopping in to visit himself or Morgiana. o/ )

[ Hello, potential lack of recognition. That is (somewhat) music to Touma's ears. ] Unfortunately for them, that "Biri-biri" and her sister, yeah.

[normality]

"Biri.. biri"?

[ He repeats it slowly, almost comically so. ]

Is that some sort of nickname?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I'm talking about Mikoto Misaka. [ Said with a faint edge of "you should know this girl", on the off chance that he, you know, does. ]

[normality]

[ He doesn't, but all the same.. ]

I haven't met her before, but.. at least you must be on good terms with her if you can call her like that.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Ah, well there's that clue. ]

...something like that. Probably better terms now that we're stuck here and have to work together.

[normality]

In that case, maybe there's something good about this place after all, right? It seems to bring people together, at least.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I'm all for that, if bringing people together means they'll work together to figure a way out.

[normality]

Hmm. We can't all stay stuck in this place forever, after all. Especially not with the kind of things that happen here.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Right. A few people think fighting back is pointless. Ticks me off to think of the way this town must have broken their spirits to bring them to a conclusion like that.

[normality]

Maybe they've already been here so long that they've given up on the idea.. Still, like you said, it's sort of sad to see they've gotten that way.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Maybe. I refuse to let this place brainwash me into thinking that it's "OK" to be here, or become complacent. I'll snap my friends out of that state, too, no matter what it takes!

[normality]

... You're a good guy if you're that willing to look after them no matter what.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

A good guy? No, it should be a natural response to help out those who need it. Anyone who forgets that and only thinks about themselves needs to remember what it's like to depend on others, or to be depended on.

[normality]

Yeah, I think so too. You just can't leave someone alone when they need help, right? No matter whether you know them or they're a stranger.. It's just cruel to leave them alone like that when they're in need.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Oh god, don't encourage him. ] Exactly! It's nice to hear someone talking some sense about stuff like this for once. No one needs a reason to help someone out -- I sure as hell don't!

[normality]

[ Mikiya is very good at helping people out to a point where he often gets himself into trouble over it, really.. ]

Isn't a person needing help enough of a reason in itself?
